For February’s First Friday, from 5 to 7pm, Carbondale Arts hosts WE HEART ART, a Valentine’s-themed pop-up featuring original prints, cards, stickers and other handmade items created by a select number of artists featured in the 46th Annual Valley Visual Art Show.

In addition, the gallery & ARTique gift shop will also be open, with live cello accompaniment by Lauturo Madewell.

Supporting the February First Friday’s theme, “Spread the Love,” there will also be a love note creation station. Community members are invited to participate by writing a love note to the world, to friends, to a community member, a secret crush, a neighbor, or a family member. KDNK will read selected messages on air the week leading up to Valentine’s Day.

I’m looking forward to having a table with small artwork and notecards!
